As part of my further studies, I was observing a year 3 student in #MathsToday.

Question: What is the difference between 10 and 6?
Student answer: They are different numbers.

#Language plays a vital role in #maths and so does…

In #MathsToday

Me: Can you convert 4 1/4 into a decimal number?

S: I think so.

4 1/4 = 1.25

Me: Why is it 1.25?

S: Because 1/4 is 25/100 and so the 1 must be the whole.

#MathsToday
First time I tried this:
When a pair of bangles and paper numbers merge - it’s hands on play with rich discussions about Venn Diagrams. Honestly, I’d definitely recommend using it. I’ll be keeping it as one of my reuse ideas. 💡
